Arginine Recipes

Anyone here use arginine in the powdered form? I just picked some up, but I shockingly discovered it tastes like a camel’s ass. Or, at least I’d imagine that’s what it would taste like. Now, I have a strong stomach, but this stuff came damn close to making me gag.

I’m interested in hearing anyone’s side effects (nausea, etc) from taking it, and their dosing regimes.

And, of course, the recipes you use to mix it.

Yup,

Arginine tastes BAD! No way around that…but it’s a great sup and here’s what I take twice a day usually.

Buffered Arginine Powder - 4g
Contains:
Arginine - 4g
Choline - 250mg
B5 - 100mg
Xylitol - 1957mg
Ginkgo Extract - 30mg
Niacin - 30mg
Citric Acid - 900mg
Ascorbic Acid - 500mg
Lime Juice Powder - 210mg
Stevia Extract - 13mg

I combine this with:

Acetyl-L-Carnitine - 1 - 2g

Lecithin - 20g

Calium Pyruvate - 2g

Mix it all up with water in a glass and shoot it down trying for the life of me not to taste any of it.

It’s god awful tasting, but it’s a solid stack for penile health and fitness.

Sometimes I’ll mix it up with some sort of Crystal Lite product and it helps…but it’s never going to taste good.

How about getting a cap-m-quik machine with some 000 size caps. You should get well over a gram in one of those caps.

Yeah, I should look into that, the caps may go down easier.

Nearlythere, what brand of arginine are you using? Sounds like a good quality mix.

Try the Jarrow Products L-Arginine 1gram tablets, from
https://www.provitaminas.com. They’re solid but high dosage,
so you don’t have to deal with the taste. Just swallow
with water.

I expect that you are insulting the taste of a camel’s ass.

Most of our sense of taste is waldod to our sense of smell. Try holding your nose (literally) while you drink it. Chase with some H2o and wipe your mouth before releasing your nose.

nearlythere, that is a good stack. I wouldn’t drink the lecithin plain though. That would be pretty nasty. I put the lecithin in my shakes and can’t even taste it. Acetyl-L-Carnitine is pretty nasty too. Could you elaborate more on calcium pyruvate, it’s flavor, what it is supposed to do, and if you notice it doing anything.

It’s the “Buffered Arginine with Ginkgo, Niacin and Choline” product from
beyond-a-century.com (not sure if that’s the right URL, but just do a search on google for “beyond a century” and you’ll be all set.)

I’m very impressed with their products btw.

Thankfully, I can consume almost anything without gaging…years of chugging unholy bad protein shakes I would assume.

So, I just throw everything together and chug it. The taste is bad, but again, it doesn’t bother me all that much.

Calcium Pyruvate tastes worse than any of the other ingredients…it’s really, really bad. But it has some really great benefits.

I just have to add that calcium has been one of themost worthwhile supplements I have ever taken. Since begining my high calcium intake I have notice I am leaner and stronger, plus I have more energy and can think better, with more focus and attention. My mood is also somewhat stabalized.

A quick search on PubMed for “calcium” will bring up several studies in support of this as a supp.

L-Arginine tastes "better" than pyruvate? Cool, because I heard that L-Arginine tastes awful, but I don´t have any problems with Pyruvate. So guess I can take L-Arginine without problem then.

I got my pound of NOW powdered arginine today. Opened the top and took a sniff. Familiar! Wife got home, gave her a sniff, “Ugh, smells like cum!” Yup, that’s what I thought. Since semen is made up of this stuff and a few other things makes sense.

I had to adjust my thinking to be able to ingest it. After I got in my happy place I put a teaspoonful in a half glass of diet Coke. I had read on a huge arginine thread at Bodybuilding.com that this is a good way to take it. Don’t ask why, something to do with alkaline and acidity, supposed to make it similiar to AKG. It fizzed up a bit and down it went.

Looking forward to what this can offer. I have been taking 500 mg. tabs that I bought at Wal-Mart. The powder form is immensely cheaper.

I’m using the same brand. Diet coke, eh? I’m liking that idea. If you have a link to the article on the pH and all that jazz, let me know.

use l-arginine HCL and dissolve it in orange juice. bad taste is gone. take with 1000mg pantothenic acid.

Glad to see this thread is still alive :)

Justinkibitz: So, why take it with 1000mg of pantothenic acid?

Exactly what is wrong with camel ass???:D

I agree 100% I will take it every day for the rest of my life.
The difference I feel in energy, concentration and mood is really quite remarkable.
Not to mention it increases load size when combined with other things, as well.
I get it here Elixir Industry, makers of EZorb and Marvlix
